And it was told king David, saying, The Lord hath blessed the house of O´bed–e´dom, and all that pertaineth unto him, because of the ark of God. So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of O´bed–e´dom into the city of David with gladness.
And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
and said unto them, Ye are the chief of the fathers of the Levites: sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel unto the place that I have prepared for it.
So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before God.
But the ark of God had David brought up from Kir´jath–je´arim to the place which David had prepared for it: for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.
